Free drink refills could be banned in Wales under Welsh government consultation
The Welsh government has made a number of proposals to restrict promotion of unhealthy food and drink.
Gotta enshrine laws to protect the capitalists!
They say its about unhealthy food and drink, but why are drink refills considers a health issue to the point of requiring law? Plenty offer more than just unhealthy soda and trash like that.
Health Secretary Eluned Morgan has launched a consultation to restrict "promotions of food products high in fat, sugar and salt".
Article specifically calls out some names:
It includes a proposal to prohibit retailers from offering free drink refills, which many high street restaurants including Nando's and Five Guys offer.
Taking Five Guys for example they offer coca cola freestyle:

Which offers options such as minute maid lemonaid, vitamin water, etc. with non-sugar options. This law would punish those same drinks in the name of health.

The nice expensive machines standard fast food places are removing in the US. Too many freeloaders?
I got a solution for you, and it’s free: Drink water.
Couldn’t you just say “10 refills included in the price of the beverage”.

I support banning customer refills, but that’s cuz they’re gross.
If you just spent the past 30 minutes applying your germs to a cup, the last thing I want you to do is go back up the soda machine and splash that shit all over the nozzles.
You sound paranoid. You'd have to try really hard to infect a nozzle that way. Any door handle you come across is going to be so much more filthy.
